Bullshit, Vesta. Many of us people from middle America knew quite a bit about nuclear power & "The Bomb". Perhaps it's because there WERE quite a few USAF Bases around?? Ya know, **** you, you biased idiot!! OBTW...... where did most of the experimentation with "The Bomb" happen?? Do you know?? Do you happen to remember?? Just to refresh your mind, it was in New Mexico.....
Oh yes Thor I remember that well, for a month the government put out news releases on the first experiment, people all over the country were invited to wittiness this event. -------- Right, few people in government knew anything about the tests.
Sure the farmers that lived 70 miles from the site were a bit upset when then they found 500 sheep dead a week later, OOPSI, that was not supposed to happen. so sorry but the test had nothing to do with your problems, perhaps the sheep died of fear because there were wolf packs in the area.
Going back to the tests on Bikini Islands and the ships that Observed the tests, that must have been fun for the men on the ships with no goggles to blunt the flash of the bomb or protective clothing from the radiation fall out.
Thor, I am not a young kid, I see what is going on, I have a good friend that finally at the age of 60 got a government pension because of Agent Orange. All these years this man was ill but no one would give the agent Orange a thought---was it money that they could not spend on the veterans ??
I distrust every thing our and any other governed does, I have read history , lived through it, and now find that most of my worse fears are true. I am not paranoid, I just look back to see what was what and become very confused about about the world of today.
